New food addition...

[John Barresi]

Hi all, since kiting is an inherently healthy activity, I figured I'd make a new forum section waaaaaay down at the bottom here where folks can add tips or discuss any non-kiting lifestyle stuff that has been useful to them, but if this stuff isn't your thing, just fly on.

What motivated me today, was the addition of a homemade raw smoothie to my day - delicious and it gave me a buzz! lol



First run, just followed my instinct:

• 4 full Italian kale leaves
• 1/8 tsp grated raw ginger
• 2 caps raw food vitamin
• 1-1/2 cup berry mix
• 1/2 banana
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/3 cup water

All organic, non-GMO and raw ingredients, filtered water - seriously yummy!

Will try adding a bit of chia seed and walnuts next time.

maybe some flax seed too

[John Barresi]

I've heard about flax meal, as it seems the human stomach can't process whole flax seeds.

[bbailey49]

Our box says milled flax seed. Probably same thing

[John Barresi]

Aye - store it cool, severely reduce air exposure (oxidation) and store it in the dark.

Are you using a conventional blender or one of those nutriblasts? Curious as my family is going down this path.

Conventional blender, due to budget and versatility.

Rob,

If you have the means and if available over that a way, check out one of three machines:

Vitamix, Blend-Tec, or Ninja has a bad ass blender the Ninja Ultima Blender Plus at half the cost of the other two. I am not familiar with the Ninja.

The Vitamix and Blen-Tec will do anything you need a blender to do and more. They make hot soup, they make ice cream, make flour out of grains, and on and on and on. The benefit of power blenders for smoothies is that the smoothies have an even consistency and less ingredient prep is needed. I can throw in whole chunks of ginger which would tear up a normal blender. You don't need to cut up the pieces of fruits and veggies as small.

The only thing I know about those is the "Will it blend?" series on YouTube from Blend-Tech.

Ain't that mushy type insects and fruits and berries easily digestible by swallowing them by whole? No need to blend a thanksgiving' dinner yet, no less a hand full of berries.

OK folks, I'm really into this subject than this topic really started as!

But in all and all mush is mush.

And health is health.

Personally, I really love sharing food ideas, after all, how many of us ain't into eating now and then?
